Mr. Speaker, we have full confidence that the anticipated decision to be handed down on May 20 will be in Canada's favour. We have long known that forestry systems in Canada fully comply with Canada's international obligations.
However, there is a consensus throughout Canada that, backed by a favourable decision from the WTO, we could establish a constructive dialogue with the Americans so as to avoid in the future the kind of situation we have been experiencing for the past 25 years. That is our government's objective.
